[R] R: graphics devices

[Chuck Cleland]

   Is this on windows?  If so, how about the following:

 > plot(y~x)
 > windows()
 > plot(q~x)

   For me, this creates two different plot _windows_ and you could tile 
them to see each side-by-side.  But I'm not sure how that would be 
preferable to having the plots in the same window.  What exactly do you 
mean by different screens?
